Fitting Tow bar to IS200

How to fit tow bar to IS200.

Hi captain,

No comments on your how-to (just one word: perfect), but I would like to add that in case of an automatic transmission, an additional oil cooler is mandatory (for extra cooling of the transmission oil) according Lexus. This special note was also mentioned in the manual of the Thule towing bar I mounted on mine (and seems to be a fairly normal 'thing' for cars with auto trans, applicable for most makes and models actually, but not everyone seems to know this (including me)).

For bringing some garbage to the end of town won't be a problem, but towing heavy loads in the mountains will eat up the standard cooler capacity for sure. After installing the second cooler (mounted in line and after the original one) I was amazed how much the oil is being cooled by the 2nd cooler.

Just to avoid problems for the automatic fellas, hope it ads something here...

Keep up the good work,

Leon.
